It took one last sarcastic “poodles are supposed to be smart” for me to lose it and suddenly start to reprove my humans for lack of sensibility towards the issue of race and intelligence. It is strange, because they were the people who told me about the racist history of standardized testing: how IQ tests were created to “scientifically” justify discrimination; how Brigham, the psychologist who played a crucial role in developing SAT, thought of African-Americans; how Terman, who with Binet created the Stanford-Binet IQ test, viewed “Spanish-Indian and Mexican families;” and how, in general, the history of standardized testing has been intertwined with eugenics. My humans are totally aware of the racist and discriminatory history of “smartness” and still make jokes about my breed’s intelligence… Their actions do not for sure speak as loud as their words. And what annoys me even more is that they give such mean comments when I am in the middle of successfully solving the most advanced puzzles one can find in the market. Why do they give such mean remarks? Because I, in their opinion, am not quick enough in solving the puzzles. After I told them I am not happy with their comments, they said they are sorry and blamed it on their own upbringing: “For Iranian parents you are never successful or good enough. A ‘typical’ Iranian parent’s respons to a 100% score on a test would be: “How about any extra points? Didn’t the test include any bonus points that you managed not to get?” I accepted their apology, but not their justification. #vancouver#vancity#vancityhype#yvr#dogsofvancouver#yvrpets#toypoodle#poodles#poodlepuppies#iq#sat#standardizedtesting#race#racisthistory#discimination#discriminatory#iqtest#smart#smartness#intelligence#puzzle#dogpuzzles#eugenics

🎥New Video: How Emotions Shape Up Complexes . . Younus AlGohar’s course on Self-Awareness, Level 2: Emotional Intelligence, Lesson 4: How many human beings out of millions of people out there want to study themselves, want to study how emotions value themselves in our life; how emotionally do we go wrong and how our own emotions play with us and our mind? Due to the fact that we don’t have enough knowledge of our own self [and others around us], we never get to know our own emotions and feelings, the right conduct that we must carry; our demeanour, boundaries, our liberties and then liberties and boundaries of others. We take it for granted. . . Watch the live recordings of these lectures every day at 22:00 GMT at: http://www.younusalgohar.com Can't access this video?
